Thank You <3

Can't even begin to express my gratitude. In the middle of the night, my dog got really sick and I had to take him to the emergency vet. I was so scared for him. The last thing I wanted to think about was money but those emergency bills add up fast. I knew they would come through for us, and they did. They covered most of the bill, and the relief I felt was overwhelming. I’m beyond grateful for their support during such a hard time. Signing up for this coverage was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dog. Thank you Pets Best!

Peace of Mind When We Needed It Most

When my 3-year-old dog suddenly began heavy breathing, I knew something was wrong. We rushed her to the vet, where she had to be kept for several days for monitoring and treatment. It was a stressful time, not only worrying about her health but also facing the reality of a very expensive vet bill. Thankfully, Pets Best was there when we needed them most. Knowing that more than 75% of that bill was covered gave us incredible relief. It meant we could focus on helping our dog recover, instead of being consumed by financial stress. The process was smooth, and the support gave us peace of mind during one of the scariest moments we’ve had as pet parents.

User Friendly

I started using petsbest when my dog was a puppy, months later he suffered his first seizure. Pets Best has made it easy for me to afford his countless vet appointments, his medications, and the surgery he has had. With pets best by my side, I don't think twice about getting him the help he needs. I love pets best user friendly methods so much, that when I adopted a cat, I also created an 'account' for him. I have spoken to pets best costumer service and was given all the details and help I required.
